I have one of those Y adapters, and found the 3.5" headphones out is connected to the antenna pin.

Configuration is perfect: it is possible to connect the USB to the car charger, while on the headphones out it is enough to connect either a real headphone or a 1m extension cable.

Works like a charm. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fire69:
I just use a 2$-usbcharger in my car and a normal 3,5mm headphone as antenna. Within a minute or 2 I have 20 pages of TMC-data :)

Don't know if it makes any difference, but with HD Tweak, you can set FM-reception to Normal or Improve.

People who are having problems with reception might try this and see if it makes any difference :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] K69:
Awesome app.

Just tested a route across austria (with igo) and within a minute i got 5 pages of tmc-messages. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.jaguar:
we can hook this up to the car antenna with a 10k cap? has anyone verified that this actually works correctly? hmm, it might be time for me to start building a home made charger/antenna for my car. I've already got the lighter charger part, I might be able to use that as a base to work with.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yo3gjc:
I think you need a 10 pF capacitor, or even higher considering the high impedance antenna, I would try with a 56pF capacitor just for DC blocking nothing else
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
Please do try ;) if you do perhaps you can report back here

As soon as I get home I will have to check if my 12V-Charger has a full featured connector (no pins missing).

Any semi-technical explanation for the cap would also be very nice ;)

Hi!

Tried beta6 with Igo8. Found TMC hardware perfectly, i could tune to 99.5 (the only TMC frequency here), it displayed all RDS information but Igo8 didn't recieve any traffic information.

Installed beta5, manually setting frequency in test application didn't work, and couldn't go past 90.0 in both Igo, both test. I have HTC Diamond1. Anny suggestions?

Beta5 didn't work, only for the first start, after that was 'silence' (in test mode too), but beta6 is working fine now on the Xperia! Tested, switched off/on for several times and it is still working :) Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gauner1986:
For me it works for every frequency below 100.0.. If the autotuner wants to tune higher than 100.0 Mhz, then it hangs a while and the TMC configuration dialog comes up...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aehs:
me have the same problem :(

below 100.0 MHz sometimes it's work and sometimes not.

I use the beta 6 with Igo8 on a diamond 1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] playdo:
Tried both, Beta 5/6 on my Touch HD running Dutty's 3.8 ROM.

Beta 6 didn't work with iGO 8.3. Just found TMC hardware but didn't find a signal or did not even search frequencies.

Beta 5 works great at the moment. Running some more tests and perform test drives.

I will report back :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angelofhope:
Thanks for the heads up, now TMC works very well, off course only in manual mode.

Is there any way to limit iGo's searching range for now? (until we can go over 100MHz ;) ) The station that transmits tmc has a lot of different frequencies in different regions, which is quite annoying without automatic searching.

Thanks

Dear Qukace,

In the greater Budapest area MR2(Petofi) on 94,8 broadcasts TMC messages - and the same station on alternative frequencies countrywide.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qukace:
That's the point!!! For me in the south part of the country would be able to catch the frequency on 104,6 MR2(Petofi). As I've read previously the beta 6 is NOT working over 100MHz. Unfortunately:(:(

I wish I live in Budapest.:rolleyes:

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chapell:
Well here in Sopron the frequency of Petofi is 99.5, but with beta5 it stops at 90, with beta6 it finds 99.5 and RDS informations, but can't receive any traffic events.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zinu:
I don't get it, doesn't seem to be working. On wikipedia it says loads of radio channels support TMC, like stated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel#The_Netherlands. I tried every one of the frequencies of those radio stations, entering them manually and pressing SET, but I get no response.

My radio can detect the channel, since the FM Radio reads them just fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Floris-k:
Ok busy with this for a while atm...

I have a HTC Rhodium (Pro2)

It had no radio, so I installed the radio on it and it's working fine now.

I know frequencies 100.7 and 102.5 send TMC information.

I can't reach them while testing.. Can't reach anything while testing. Not with manual and not with auto. When pushing the arrows it just gives almost the same results in the send box:

$PSRF123,2,0*26 (everytime I click >

$PSRF123,1,1*27 (everytime I click >|

$PSRF123,0,0*27 (everytime I click <

$PSRF123,0,1*26 (everytime I click |<

When I activate TMC there are no errors, nothing. The port used in HyperGPS is port 9 just like I added in the system.ini

I have added the following text in these 2 files of Igo

sys.txt

[TMC]

saved_config_available="0"

system.ini

[tmc]

saved_config_available="1"

saved_config_classname="NMEA_GPSTMC_ROYALTEK"

saved_config_portname="COM"

saved_config_port="9"

saved_last_tuning_mode="0"

saved_last_frequency="958"

Don't know what I missed and why it's not working. I think it's something in the 1st phase and got nothing to do (yet) with igo8.

Edit: if you push the man. button and it jumps to auto. The app shoudl look for frequencies itself? Nothing happens here...

came here via http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=257&t=65744

here the Rhodium is mentioned as supported device.

Edit2: Power Radio gives an error on GFMAPI.DLL

Installed the 1.5b GFMAPI.dll files, but not working. I think the Rhodium can be taken off the supported devices list.

Have you tried installing HTC fm radio on your Rhodium before running Power Radio?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MyRho:
For me its just doesn't work on my TOUCH CRUISE... (germany)

It just doesn't find any TMC-data...

I've tried different headsets (HTC and some other ones) without any result.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Floris-k:
Yes. Installed the HTC radio first and then Power Radio.

Busy with installing beta 5 atm. Will be placing a update within a few minutes.

Results:

I have uninstalled beta 6. Did a soft reset and installed beta 5.. Restarted phone again. Plugged in the headphone and started HyperGPS.

When doing a test in Hyper GPS I finally get something in the receive box, but nothing with the TMC group (8)

$PSRFTXT, Ack Input 122*6D

$PSRFTXT, Ack Input 121*6E

$PSRFTXT, Ack Input 123*6C

No matter what I try...Also pushing the > button always gives the same frequencies: 0.0, 0.1, 1.0, 1.1 All with $PSRF122 or 123 in front of it.

Don't know how you guys are scrolling through channels with the test op HGPS. I have 4 frequencies in the program

And HTC FM radio works but Power Radio not?

I will have to do some research for Rhodium.

I just checked FMRadio.exe in the cab file from a Rhodium thread. It doesn't have much difference from TP.

PowerRadio should work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Floris-k:
Yes that's correct. The FM Radio from HTC is working and the Power Radio is giving an error: "can't open the GFMAPI"

I tried 2 different GFMPI files from the topic and also tried it with regular and capital fonts etc etc.

is there any way I can help you? Provide soms needed information?

Can't get TMC info with Touch Pro 2/Navigon 7/HGPS B5

Hello, every1!!

I've tried sooo many things but nothing worked!

HTC Touch Pro 2 is my handy and i want to use Navigon mobile navigator 7!

Here is my info:

--yesterday--

First i installed Beta 6 of HyperGPS .. in test mode no TMC signal found,

when i use combined mode "GPS+TMC" , test mode find GPS info,

BUT no TMC!

Then i've changed to gfmapi.dll v15B for HTC ..

BUT no TMC info in test mode!!

I've configured Navigon and HyperGPS on Com Port 5,

HyperGPS only to use TMC data,

and Navigon to use GPS with external TMC.

BUT Navigon doesn't find any TMC info as HyperGPS in test mode

but at same time it has found the HyperGPS @ Com port 5.

---

--today--

I've tried HyperGPS vB5, in config i use only TMC data.

Then in test mode it gives me info but no TMC info,

BUT a response there is $RTCTXT ..!!

Thats more then HyperGPS vB6 gives to me!

But no TMC info.. I've tried it at open sky with long headset cable,

BUT no TMC info in test mode.

And Navigon doesn't even find any TMC info!

So at last i used gfmapi.dll v15B in win dir.

Then HyperGPS say it can't load the driver!!!!!!

And at both days i loaded the HyperGPS driver for testing,

and tried if the FM radio works,

IT WORKS even when THIS driver is loaded !??

So last but not least, there' NO TMC signal/info

that tells me HyperGPS or Navigon!

Whats wrong?? I've tried all i know as other users explained!

Can DEVELOPERS include HTC Touch Pro 2 in functionality of HyperGPS??

I have german rom, ORIGINAL!

And my Touch Pro 2 has FM radio onboard.

Help me, please :confused:

Edit: Now today, i've tried api test from gfmapi.dll v15B,

it says: "can't initializie radio"

What about the GFMAPI v1.6??

Where can i download it and try it??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flywhc:
I believe the latest GFMAPI can (make hyperGPS) supports Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) now.

I made this change tonight and uploaded GFMAPI v1.6 to my RDS thread but not fully tested (I don't have so many devices)

However, do not upgrade GFMAPI by yourself unless you know how to digital sign a driver.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruiserrr:
WOW ! I have been able to configure it and it works at home. I will test today while driving. Congrats and thanks so much. In Spain it seems only RNE3 provides TMC and the frequency is different across the geography so how does the program handle this? it changes frequency while I drive or I will have to change it manually as I move to another area?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
please read first post carefully
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arrak1s:
I copied the 1.6 files to the windows directory

I copied FMSDKWrapper.dll to FMS_API.dll

IGO now also finds a TMC device but it seems to stick to 90Mhz freq, and it does not find anny TMC info

Now when i do the "test" mode i see messages but NO group 8 tmc related messages.

So for the Touch Pro 2 it is getting closer but its not there yet..

Can't see TMC info on my HTC Touch Pro 2

Hello again, i've tested new gfmapi.dll v1.6 with NEWEST

FMS_API.dll (FMSDKWrapper.dll) in win dir!!

Api test from gfmapi.dll SUXESSFULLY work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It can seek forward and backward and can find stations!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT in test mode of HyperGPS i receive only

$RTRDS,90.0,3,1,1,.... and

$RTTMC,7,0000,7000,...

These lines are repeated long time..

AND in the upper line there is a 90.0 only ..

So i guess the frequency is hanging at 90.0,

my first stations with TMC is 90.6 !!!

AND HTC Radio is loading long time after loaded HyperGPS (HyperGPS_WM6_B6), when i unload HyperGPS, HTC Radio still can't play and doesn't exit when i press exit key!

So only seeking in test mode in HyperGPS seems not to work clear and Radio isn't working after load and unload HyperGPS ! !!

Here ends my info...

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
@roodef

GNS TrafficBoxPlus FM9BT-C is just an external TMC data receiver connected by bluetooth. What we are trying to do here is to use the pocket pc built-in FM radio to emulate a TMC device.

:confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] foulke:
Tried beta 6.

Works a bit. nice to see the reception quality.

But every one minute, I loose the TMC.

I'm back on beta 5.

I've noticed that the FM quality in my car when I'm plugged with the car charger (Covertec USB 1,2A charger) is too bad to catch TMC.

Whenever I unplug the car charger, I get TMC.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faeArai:
The so called >99.9 MHz bug does not only appear in iGO8.3 but in hypergps client, too. Last received station is at 99.7 Mhz. While tuning up, hypergps-client sends the command and thats it. There is no response nor you can tune an other station.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] testuser0072:
Yes, it is true, problem is not only in iGo8.3. HyperGPS client not working above 99.7 MHz, can't receive any higher freq.

btw: GFMAPI 1.6 released - changelog say:

- Improve power consumption when no event subscription.

- solve mute problem on Topaz

- support Rhodium

So we wait for next working version HyperGPS :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arrak1s:
This is exactly what i found, i thought i posted that, but i cannot find it anymore.

In IGO8 the TMC is also recognised, nut it only finds a station a 90Mhz and that one does not have TMC

Hope this helps in progressing support for Touch Pro 2 ( I have two more weeks before vacation ;) )

HyperGPS test mode only show only $RTTMC,7,..

Hello again, i've installed newest FMSDKWrapper renamed

on my Rhodium Touch Pro 2 to FMS_API.dll in win dir!!

Then i've also installed Beta6 of HyperGPS.

When i tune forward in test mode i get this:

$RTRDS,93.2,0,3,2,1,1,1,000,255,5,0,51*56

$RTTMC,7,0007000,0000,0000*40

after next tune i get this:

$RTRDS,94.9,0,3,2,1,1,1,000,255,5,0,51*5A

$RTTMC,7,0007000,0000,0000*40

again and again tuning, i DON'T get something like this

$RTTMC,8,e213,8543,8873,1458*1B

where the ..,8, is most important!

everytime the same

$RTTMC,7,0007000,0000,0000*40

!!

Is it a bug ???

BUT at least it says something like $RT TMC to me, because

i installed FMSDKWrapper !!

Testing api from GFMAPI_HTC_15B works fine..

I powered on and seeks and everytime it finds a station!

Same for api GFMAPI_HTC_16, it works also fine!

That's my info for today.

94.8 @Budapest

But beta6 has the bug from the prev versions, it hangs up at 106.8MHz and doesn't work anymore :(

So, here is the full log from my Xperia ROM:R2A based on official:

As you can see changing freq or autotuning doesn't work, freq stucked at 106.8MHz.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
@norti

There's a bug in beta6 for frequencies over 99.9MHz.

You can make it work again if you change the value of HKLM/Drivers/HyperGPS/Frequency manually with a registry editor (94800 for Budapest) and restart HyperGPS. If you are using iGO, you will have to change also the value of HKLM/Software/iGOTMC/LastKnownTMCStation (948 for Budapest). Do not use auto tune in IGO otherwise HyperGPS willl stuck again at something over 99.9MHz.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snark_be:
With all the problems with Beta6, why do you want to keep using it?

I use Beta 5 and it works perfectly with iGO, including auto-tuning. I start HGPS_Switch, it starts iGO. If the headset is plugged in, I get TMC data after a few minutes (the time it takes to find a TMC broadcast).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] norti:
Yes, that's the solution that I just found too! :)

This means, that it would be _nicer_ if we could set the correct freq on start (not read from registry) and the driver had the option to save the freq for later use!

If there is this serious bug above 100MHz, then this would solve the hang up issue at least for those who can use the freq below 100MHz in their countries.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] norti:
Beta5 didn't work stable on my xperia (it had the above mentioned problem and other bugs too). Beta6 apart from this '100MHz' bug works fine always.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faeArai:
Because without beta testing there won't be any stable version :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
With iGO, you should be able to do this via SYS.TXT:

[tmc]
saved_last_frequency=948

Then iGO should always start with that frequency when looking for TMC.

No TMC info on Rhodium Touch Pro 2

Hello again,

i've installed newest FMSDKWrapper renamed

on my Rhodium Touch Pro 2 to FMS_API.dll in win dir!!

Then i've also installed Beta6 of HyperGPS and

newest api GFMAPI_HTC_16 in win dir, too.

new (important) info:

When i've plugged in Headset it shows in test mode this:

$RTRDS,90.0,0,3,2,1,1,1,000,255,5,0,51*56

$RTTMC,7,0007000,0000,0000*40

but when i EVEN haven't plugged in a Headset, test mode shows this:

$RTRDS,100.5,15,3,2,1,1,1,000,255,5,0,51*5F

$RTTMC,7,0007000,0000,0000*40

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Perhaps, WHY does it show " $RTTMC,7,0007000,0000,0000*40 "

--> when theres no possibility to catch a signal??

It can't show

THIS

!!

AND does HyperGPS work right, after 100.0 MHZ,

cause i haven't plugged in a Headset ??

Hope THESE info can be helpfull on my Rhodium

with real FM radio which can catch RDS station name!! ?

Here ends my info..

;):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
$RTTMC,7,0007000,0000,0000*40 is a fake sentence sent by HyperGPS to help detecting and keeping the connection with iGO when there are no RDS/TMC data on the frequency tuned.

So even if the headset is not plugged, you will have this sentence sent by HyperGPS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] norti:
I know this, the problem is not with iGO but with the frequencies above 100 MHz, the driver cannot handle these and just hangs and doesn't work anymore... until you set below 100 MHz in the registry ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ulyan:
On a diamond rom 2.03 oficial, radio 1.15.xxx, Igo 8.3.2.97xx.

It works only once, I mean you enable the driver, go to Igo, find TMC hardware but after a full search on all frequencies (and if it doesn't find any signal it doesn't start searching again) It stops and shuts down, going back to the calibration pane. (com port, protocol etc) :confused:

You have to soft reset or disable and enable again the driver to try a second time ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beemerTPPC:
Hi All,

I've been off for a week, at the beach ;)

I plan to solve the frequency range error and add FMAPI 1.6 in the next few days, but Rhodium still won't work because 1.6 API doesn't support RDS at this moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faeArai:
It's because of the >99MHz bug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ulyan:
I hope this has a fix, somehow ... Thanks faeArai :)

In the first post you will find another great app called power radio. with that you can locate RNE-3 frequency at your location. In Barcelona 89.6. RNE-3 is the only one I know that sends tmc traffic info in Spain. Anybody knows others?.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jose-Ramon:
The RDS-TMC has national coverage (Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands). The coverage of RDS-TMC is the same as RNE 3.

For now, the RDS-TMC does not include local events. DGT has no competence in municipal roads.

Great work on this and once it's working you and any of the other devs should approach HTC and get them to licence it.....if you need help doing this let me know.

Anyway I have a Touch HD with Dutty's WM6.5 V5 rom as a test setup and using IGO8 V 97313. I've tried 1.5 and 1.6 of the GFMAPI.dll.

I've also installed power radio for cross testing.

Unfortunately because I'm in London the only station that supplies TMC traffic data is Classic FM on 100.9 Mhz.

1. Using Power radio I can tune to Classic Fm and the TMC icon does highlight (indicating TMC data), however the menu button doesn't work in Power radio and I haven't got to the bottom of that yet.

2. I cannot get HyperGPS to tune above 99.? Mhz and the man/auto key's seem to be inconsistent in how they perform. Often the space for the tuning frequency just shows ...> rather then a value, and I have no idea how to fix it when it goes into this mode.

3. In IGO8 with the TMC driver loaded sometimes IGO detects TMC, sometimes it doesn't, I haven't been able to identify a consistent reason why.

4. In IGO8 I can never tune above 99.? no matter which version of GFMAPI or HYPERGPS I use.

I have a spare Touch HD I'm using as a dedicated testing platform at the moment so if you need me to do anything let me know.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Regards

Beta 7 Released:

Beta 7 is what Beta 6 should had been. Now Royaltek protocol works better than ever and automatic tunning under iGO allows roaming in a trip from one TMC station to another one whithout manual intervention.

Many other bug fixed and improvements have been done thanks to the help of the forum users. ;)

GNS:

Now GNS supports auto tune mode, that works slightly better under iGO that the manual mode, but still have problems. I haven't tested this version with navigon, but perhaps with auto mode works in some way.

I'm working hard in the GNS protocol, but it still have several misteries :(
